What happened

Amazon will no longer use nondisclosure agreements while negotiating with local governments over data center projects.

Microsoft earlier this year announced it would also stop using nondisclosure agreements in data center negotiations.

This could increase transparency in site‑selection discussions, allowing communities and officials to see the terms being offered and potentially influencing decisions about where new data centers are built.
